Glass Recycling to End at UW

UW currently partners with ARK Regional Services to process most
of the commodities it collects, including glass. For financial reasons, ARK has
decided to no longer process glass effective Nov. 1, says Tod Scott, UW
Custodial Services manager. He says ARK has been losing $35 a ton on glass and
can no longer subsidize glass collection.

“Because ARK was UW Recycling’s only broker for glass, and we
have not found any other viable options at this time, UW Recycling will no
longer be able to accept glass,” Scott says. “We will continue to look for
options and, if one is found, we will resume glass collections.”
